If this Pelicans team was coming into this game healthy and with momentum, it would be tough to pick against them. That isn't the case, though, as NOLA was thrashed by LA in its regular season finale and Brandon Ingram didn't look ready in that game (13 points in 23 minutes in his first action in over a month). Two days later, the Pelicans aren't going to rally the troops in time to take down "King James."
